Infrastructure for the state's fourth point-to-point speed camera network has been installed along the Princes Fwy at Longwarry and Yarragon.
However, enforcement is not expected to begin until early 2026.
The state government has rolled out 35 new fixed camera sites and two new point-to-point networks - including "Princes Fwy East" - as part of a $49 million investment into making roads safer for drivers and pedestrians.
"Victoria's road safety camera program plays a critical role in changing driver behaviour, reducing serious injuries and saving lives," a Department of Justice and Community Safety spokesperson said. "That's why we're investing in a fourth point-to-point camera network on the Princes Fwy near Nar Nar Goon, to prevent crashes and death on our roads."
Point-to-point cameras target "camera surfing" behaviour, where motorists speed between fixed road safety cameras.
The cameras calculate the average speed of a vehicle by measuring the time taken to travel between two points. If the average speed exceeds the speed limit, the incident is sent for verification to determine whether a speeding offence has occurred.
Often dubbed "revenue raisers", the department said every dollar received from the road safety cameras would go to the Better Roads Victoria Trust. The funds are then spent on road restoration, road surface replacement, bridge strengthening and other road safety infrastructure improvements.
